Out of the box

There is this creativity talk on the job. What is it? Experts say creative people are people who can come out with IDEAS..faster than anyone. It doesn't matter what kind of ideas, its how fast these good and bad ideas were churned out fast! The point is, some where will come a brilliant idea to solve the problem on the table. And in a more cost effective and better way.

I feel that if you are able to do that, then you will be a valuable asset to the organisation, as you can the one who comes out with ideas that could make the "gears" tick and move smoothly - a leading light. There are always problems on hand, and in the fast economy, that calls for someone with quick brains and composure. This quality alone can set you apart from another employee and make you more valuable to that employer.

Who does not have problems to solve at any kind of job they may be on?

I feel that thinking out of the box is something that can be learned. The sad thing is that this country needs many of such people in the top leading tier to progress. We are doing fine, but need something extra to jump to the "premier league" of asian countries.

That is why, drastic changes have to be made. Hope they know.

Meaning of LOVE

It's been a long time...glad this blog is still alive.

Everyone of us has a different meaning of love. People agree that humans need to love and be loved. There is no greater power than love in this world as its so empowering. It can motivate people to do things for others they wouldn't normally do. In ancient times, love can cause the collapse of a grand empire. Some even give up everything for the sake of the one they love. You see it in the newspapers everyday...

Here in our little planet, love is in abundance if you love for it and it comes from our heart that keeps it going on.

While there is much love, there is much hatred around too. Why is there so much hatred? The answer is simple. This world is unbalanced due to our different castes, religions and systems.

True love is more than a sentimental, gushy feeling that will keep us alive. Love is a decision, a choice we each must make.

In some points you will notice that most of people also find the definition of love same with that meaning, may be because it's the general definition of it. But for me to be more unique, in my own the meaning of love is giving or showing concern,help without expecting anything in return and even though they don't ask for a help".

It is important for us to know what is the true meaning of love in our own because it will be the key for us to be loved by others.

Short trip to the East

My family went to eastern city of Kuantan recently. It was the first time I went there and the 3 hours journey was enjoyable and cool. The traffic was not that heavy too compared to here in the capital.

The 3 hours journey was good, thanks to the chat I had with the people in my car. Else, I will be falling asleep. Actually I was there to bring my family for a tour of the country. It is my first time there too. Marie Callas says its an auspicious period for me to travel and she was right... Everything went smoothly. Nothing went missing! (for those who don't know, some items will go missing whenever we go for family outing)

We stayed at the hotel facing the scenic view of Kuantan river. There's an esplanade along the river and we rested at the eatery stalls over there. The food was decent and fragrant. Nothing to complain about except the sweltering weather.Yeah this is a nice place and i love this country.

Cutting it short..i plan to go there again in near future. The kids love it.

a precarious moment

As i am writing this post, a tension is building up intensely in North Asia where N Korea is going to test a missile in the pretext of "self defence". This has brought jitters among superpowers and N Korea's neigbhouring countries. Personally, i think this is not right and can be viewed as an act of potential aggression disguised a national defence.

Just imagine your neighbour practising archery by shooting arrows across your compound to the open land beyond that. Would you feel good about that? No, i think you will want to confront them with your own dose of "arrows". The outcome is of course wars!

I am a peace loving guy and I advocate humanity and compassion. I just do not understand what some political leaders are thinking. I think they are all a bunch of idiots, and somehow we are ruled by these idiots. Ultimately i believe all of them are self serving protecting own interests rather than serving people.

Sad state of affairs huh?

Forgiveness - wisdom of living

Marie Callas tells me in her letter that the Law of Forgiveness is working in your life everyday whether you authorizs it or not. This is not a law that you are bound by - it is a universal principle that has existed even before man set foot on the earth.

When you practice forgiveness, you find that others begin to treat you differently, and they really open you to you after some time..its like seeing light at the end of the dark long tunnel and you feel the glee when there is finally light at the end of it. Some will appreciate you to such a degree that they will open themselves to you and give whatever they can to aid you.

The law of Forgiveness is a living mechanism which helps you to take back the power you may have thrown away in the past. It just doesn't worth it spiritually if you have some intense hatred or dislike for someone as you are simply wasting energy that can be used for more positive attitudes and experiences in life.

This is the universe working in harmony after forgiveness has cleared the way for peace. So, in forgiving others, we become the recipients of comfort, peace and happiness.

I find this is wisdom of living.

Ghost

Check out this cool and scary local drama production called 'Ghost' on 8tv. Its now in season 2 and I think this is great and is a example of quality production we have seen for a long time out from his country.

My daughters absolutely love this series. They are always jumping up and down in excitement, shrieking in ear-piercing pitch high, and squealing whenever there is something eerie.

Monday

I receive a free Maria Callas amulet again in her first letter to me in April.

It feels good that she has not forgotten me.

I thought she has frankly, as her letter always brings cheers and horoscope knowledge.

On a side note, I had a bad weekend due to heavy flu. It feels scary when there is a lot of news reported in half a world away about a swine flu outbreak.

The weather has been exceptionally hot and humid. Somehow I have never felt such a high temperature in this part of the world before in my life.


Global warming? El Nino?
